Abstract
The manumission of slaves was a structural characteristic of colonial Latin American society. Nevertheless, this does not mean that all or the majority of the slaves were able to leave captivity. Only a small percentage was able to end their days as free men. Women formed the majority of this percentage. From the largest slave regions to the peripheries; and from the beginning of the colonial era until total emancipation, more women were always manumitted in proportion to men. This article offers a partial hypothesis of such a phenomenon thatthe female slaves were more often manumitted because they were exempt from aying taxes, a privilege that the men did not have. It is studied how the slave family made the decision as to who should be manumitted.
